We are halfway through the regular season in the Greenskins Draft Rumble Season II. It's time to update the fans, coaches, and players of what they can win and who is currently leading the pack!
The Platinum Arm
Sponsored by Le Gob Sportif -
Your wardrobe is our concern
The award for the league's best passer is somewhat complex (for orcs at least). Each player who has made 5+ passing yards this season has their total distance divided by the number of pass completions (so long as they have made at least 3 successful passes). The player with the highest index wins this prestigious award.
1.
Thugbo Skulltaker (Karak Norn Chargerz) - 16 yards / 3 passes
2. Karson Barbo (Karak Norn Crusherz) - 10 / 3
3. Grunk Gorefang (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics) - 9 / 4
There are other contenders who need one more completion to qualify;
1. Valeria Wargo (Bretonnian Brutes) - 5 / 2
=2. Groth Bonegnasha (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics), Grogg Skullrippa (Middenlands Ironskins) - 2 / 2
The Ruby Runner
Sponsored by Rutter Gunners Special Delivery Service -
We'll get it there-there
The award for the league's best ball carrier is a more simple calculation; how many yards - or paces in old money - did each player progress up the field with the ball in hand. The maths are certainly easier than the task itself!
1.
★ Dazlug Mudshredda ★ (Altdorf Bloodhounds) - 203 yards
2. ★ Zuggrak "Splatta" Gorblat ★ (Badlands Black Feathers) - 153 yards
3. Orzog Shugdurbam (Nordland Skullsmasherz) - 146 yards
4. Indestructible (Iron Crag Clawz) - 112 yards
5. Hazel Nuts (Grom Peak Scrappers) - 111 yards
The Iron Gauntlet
Sponsored by Steelhelm's Sporting Emporium -
Jus' crunk it!
A real fans' favourite, the Iron Gauntlet is a sign of all that is associated with the greenskin game - brutal, physical force exerted on others without a second thought. The one who wields this has made the most blocks and is, therefore, not to be trifled with!
1.
Arm Snapper (Averland Bat-Squigs) - 76
2. Grash Bonechewer (Badlands Black Feathers) - 71
3. Dakkul Beastmaw (Nordland Skullsmasherz) - 67
4. Kroll Stonecrusha (Altdorf Bloodhounds) - 60
5. ★ Head Stompa the Fourth ★ (Iron Crag Clawz) - 59
The Brass Boot
Sponsored by Star Insurance Guild -
They were on borrowed time anyway
Yes, they may be unloved, even by their own mother, and undervalued by all those who coach them but many players in the league want to make their mark on the game - normally in the shape of a boot print on a prostrate player's back. The fouliest foulers of the league aspire to being given the Boot themselves.
1.
Rukzit the Menace (Averland Bat-Squigs) - 24 fouls
2. Slugg "Bullock" Bonekrakka (Dragonback Squigs) - 17
=3. "Unstoppable" Urza Spinechoppa (Drakwald 'Ardboyz), Skabzit Mudspitta (Nordland Skullsmasherz) - 10
=5. Cut Cut Gelder (Iron Crag Clawz), Miranda Hortalus ☠ (Mount Gunbad Big 'Uns) - 9
Careless Coach
Sponsored by Nurgle King -
Made special!
Some of us treat our draftees like heroes, showering them with wealth, trinkets, and platitudes, Some bring rookies through with all the due maternal care of a tiny, toothless squiglet. Others toss their overworked and underpaid players into the pitch like logs into a pot-bellied stove! This award is for the coach who just can't keep his players breathing.
1.
RobinFern (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics) - 5 dead players
2. Nietizen (Badlands Black Feathers) - 3
=3. IntrepidWilson (Drakwald 'Ardboyz), AutoAxpert (Bretonnian Brutes), Ritzi (Middenland Ironskins), Kozilek (Mount Gunbad Big 'Uns) - 2
The Stone Slayer
Sponsored by Simpson & Son's Funeral Parlours -
You snuff 'em, We stuff 'em!
Only the most heartless, ruthless, merciless, fearless, bloodthirsty, cruel savages make this list - it's for the players who keep the undertaking business ticking along. Who has injured, maimed, or killed the most opponents?
=1.
Grotz Eargrinda (Nordland Skullsmasherz), "Deadly" Grulg Bonecleava (Dragonback Squigs) - 6
=3. ★ Ghazghkull Thraka ★ (Drakwald 'Ardboyz), Wrath (Iron Crag Clawz), Tharku 'Eadsmasha (Bretonnian Brutes) - 4
The Silver Spike
Sponsored by Orcidas -
Possible is sumfink!
There can only be one winner of this, the most coveted trophy any player can win - the Spike is gifted to the player with the most touchdowns. The glory boys. The peacocks. The ones who can win a game in a split second. The sharpest point on the club.
1.
★ Dazlug Mudshredda ★ (Altdorf Bloodhounds) - 8 touchdowns
2. ★ Zuggrak "Splatta" Gorblat ★ (Badlands Black Feathers) - 7
=3. Orzog Shugdurbam (Nordland Skullsmasherz), Hazel Nuts (Grom Peak Scrappers) - 6

Most Improved Player
Sponsored by Kroxiade -
Gets to your throat fast!
Each coach may nominate a player that they feel they have developed well over the course of the season. They cannot be Marquee Players, but can be any other player whose accomplishments might be overlooked by the beady-eyed statisticians and the fair weather fans. Nominations will open after the end of the regular season and close 24 hours after the final match of the season has been decided.
Keep your eyes peeled for our next Special Edition covering the movers and shakers of the trade window!
